Do you remember when you first read “Our Bodies, Ourselves”? Tell us your story!I was introduced to OBOS in 1973 as a freshman at BU. I had joined (that very new thing!) a Women’s Group. It was the recommended reading, and became our go-to bible for information. I always loved the clear, no non-sense, no beating around the bush information which was totally a new approach for me. I felt very hip knowing about OBOS, and truthfully have used it many, many times over the years to answer questions. I also stock it in my waiting room for patients.
I have particularly appreciated that OBOS has been translated into so many languages, making this important information accessible for all kinds of women around the globe. Thank you!
